Bring it back to life.
First on every track. Slake brings a quiet recording up to a healthy level, then clears out the hum, rumble and hiss that came up with it.

What it does
Listen, then Set
Play the song and press Set. One fixed, clean gain puts the loud parts where the rest of the chain expects them.
Keeps your dynamics
It sets from the loud sections and skips silence, so a quiet verse stays quieter than the chorus.
Cleans what came up with it
Mains hum, rumble and the hiss between phrases, only where Slake heard them.
Tells you what it heard
How low it was recorded, where it clipped, and a tip for next time.
